Protecting mechanical processing parts with “armor”: Comprehensive analysis of galvanizing surface treatment process, advantages and disadvantages, and application selection
Abstract: In the field of mechanical manufacturing, the durability of parts directly determines the lifespan and reliability of the products. Galvanization, as a classic, efficient, and cost-effective metal surface treatment process, provides excellent rust and corrosion protection for steel parts. This article will deeply explore all aspects of galvanizing for mechanical processing parts, including its core principles, detailed comparisons of various processes (electro-galvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing, mechanical galvanizing, etc.), the protective mechanism of the galvanized layer, advantages and disadvantages analysis, subsequent treatments (such as passivation, phosphating), quality inspection standards, and how to select the most suitable galvanizing process based on the characteristics of your parts, helping you equip precision-machined parts with the strongest “armor”.
